Prevayler 2.4 in Git & XStream 1.3.1?

Hi Justin and Klaus (and anyone else who'd like to chime in),

I was thinking of using Prevayler with the XStreamSerializer and I had three
questions...

My client's product already uses the latest version of XStream.  I looked at
the code in XStreamSerializer and saw that it was extremely simple (yay!)
and didn't exercise much of the XStream API (yay!).  Do you know of any
reason that Prevayler wouldn't work with XStream v1.3.1?

The product also has some XML files that are represented in memory as JDOM
documents/elements.  Every time the in-memory representation is changed, the
graph is marshalled to XML and written to disk. (Ack!)  Although it might
not be a typical use of Prevayler, can you think of any reason it wouldn't
work to write and use a simple, specialized JDOMSerializer as a snapshot
Serializer?  That way, the changes to the XML structure could be saved
incrementally (probably using standard serialization or XStream), while the
base file (now used to represent the snapshot) could continue to exist with
the same format.

Finally, I browsed around a bit in the Git repository and noticed that there
have been quite a few changes since 2.3 was released.  Is there likely to be
a new release any time soon?  If not, would you recommend using either a
current snapshot or one from a particular date?

Thanks,
Matt

p.s. Looking forward to actually using Prevayler after first encountering it
*years* ago. :)
